Abstract

The invention discloses a method for trapping single cells. The method is implemented by the aid of a plurality of micro-fluidic chips. A plurality of single cell trapping units with different specifications are arranged on each micro-fluidic chip, cell sap with target cells can flow through the micro-fluidic chips, the target cells can be trapped by the different single cell trapping units according to physical size difference, and the target cells which are not trapped by the single cell trapping units with the matched specifications can continue flowing to the next single cell trapping units until the target cells are trapped or flow through all the single cell trapping units. According to the scheme, the method has the advantages that the single cell trapping units with the different specifications are set, the structures and the sizes of the single cell trapping units on the different micro-fluidic chips can be differently set, accordingly, the target cells with the different sizes can be trapped in the mode, and the purpose of trapping the single cells with the diversified sizes in a high-flux manner can be achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of bioengineering, in particular to a method for capturing single cells. Background technique [0002] For a long time, in the clinical diagnosis and treatment of cancer, tissue cell biopsy is usually used to confirm the diagnosis and track the treatment effect. This method will not only bring physical trauma to the patient, but also be expensive. [0003] A better way to diagnose cancer is to be able to detect tumor cells free in the blood, that is, the detection of circulating tumor cells (CTCs, circulating tumor cells). Since Ashowworth reported and first proposed the concept of CTCs in 1869, CTCs have been considered an important factor in cancer metastasis, but the content of CTCs in the blood circulation system is very small, generally only 1 to 10 in 1 mL of blood (CTCs in advanced patients) number will increase). With the update of tumor biology theory and the improvement of CTCs detection technolo...
